Jorge Guillén Books

A pivotal figure of the Generation of '27, this influential poet forged a distinct approach to 'pure poetry.' His work aimed to strip away the anecdotal, condense adjectives, favor short verses, and concentrate poetic themes, prioritizing linguistic precision over overt lyricism. Evolving from a focused collection into a significantly expanded volume over time, his poetry reflects a continuous quest for essential expression. His travels and teaching experiences in Paris, Oxford, and the United States infused his exploration of universal themes with a unique personal sensibility.
